Anyone have one? Probably will have to get one, secret, for potential job prospects soon. Just wondering about forms, test, etc. Any input is appreciated.
I started the paperwork to go work at a federal building, its insane the amount of info they required. Took my father over 8 hours to fill his out, I said forget it and took a different job offer.
In my business you bounce around alot, so that aspect wasnt a big deal
It will take them awhile to run your background, in the mean time they will issue you a interm clearance. Just be honest with them, I had some black marks on my record, and they gave me a clearance. They just want you to be up front. Most of it will hinge on your character references.
Just my one cent
So if someone is convicted with a felony, I highly doubt you will get a clearance. I have a guy working on contract position at Fort Hood. It took weeks to get his entire background check complete and he wasn't trying to obtain a Secret or Top Secret Clearance

Your not experienced in what they are looking for then :naughty:. Its not about having a conviction. Its about being truthful and honest . I have a conviction, and a secret clearance.
well someone mentioned space,defense, etc. That will be type of area that is a possibility. Like the 'big' places that are in that area. I have no arrests/ misdemeanors/etc on my record. Only have 1 speeding ticket. Never done drugs, except steroids. Thinking about just marking that I have and put down last time I did was in 2008 or something. Was just wondering opinions on the paperwork, etc for a secret when dealing with this topic. Everything else is fine.
Just some advice DO NOT admit to steroid use or anything with a needle for that matter that's pretty much an automatic disqualification.

When I did my clearance for homeland security they didn't do any checks if you do admit just admit to orals not injection

Alot of misinformation in the posts on this thread guys, not just here (no offense man)....
A large majority of individuals I work with (TS/SCI required) have had felony charges.
Just be honest and clearance won't be an issue. Now if you tried party drugs a few times or less leave that out... Other than that complete honesty.
Most employers will do the paperwork etc. for you actually. All I have ever had to do is show up for my polygraph.
